Ok, there is a part in the movie I don’t get.
It’s the part where the agents are setting up a deal with the counterfeiter. The agent is possing as some sort of doctor. But the counterfeiter did a check on him. Theres a scene that goes something like this:
RICK MASTERS: “And this is Dr. Jessle, who is not not really a doctor. Tell me Mr. Jessle, do you enjoy your work? Hahahaha”(evil laugh)
So? What’s he talking about? He knows he’s not a doctor but he doesn’t know he’s a secret agent. What’s the joke? I don’t get it? Did I miss a line somewhere that explains this?
Be kind! I haven’t seen the movie 50 zillion times like some peoples.
That was the Willem Dafoe character who said that, right? The line stopped me, too. What I got from it was that Dafoe’s character was toying with the person he was talking to – IIRC, he created a tense moment, then tossed in a casual remark. It was sort of his way of announcing that he was a crazy, out-there guy who didn’t respect anyone else.
That’s how I interpreted that. Funny you should mention that. I saw the movie a long time ago, and that exchange still sticks in my memory.
It’s Jessup, not Jessle. And Masters is showing off that he knows (or suspects) they’re cops, and they STILL can’t do anything to him because they can’t come up with the buy money.
Wait a minute. Didn’t he say the line when they had delivered the buy money (which they stole from the undercover FBI agent)? They did have buy money. I don’t think this is the answer. Could be wrong though.
